Why am I so pathetic? [View all]

30 years old, living a home with my parents like I'm 17. Years of depression and anxiety have forced me in and out of post secondary education more times than I like to count. Barely staying in school again. I'm childish, immature and selfish. I've never had a relationship. I feel like giving up on life.

I been on numerous different SSRIs over the years and seen therapists. The medication has helped some the therapy much less.
